Temples are different from our everyday church buildings where we hold Sunday worship services. They are our most holy places, set aside for God’s most sacred work. The things we do in the temple revolve around the promise that we can live with God and our loved ones for eternity. In the temple, we more fully commit to following Jesus Christ. We make promises with God, such as the promise to keep His commandments and to dedicate ourselves and all we have to Him. Husbands and wives and parents and children are united together, or “sealed” to one another, for eternity. And we do the same work for our ancestors, giving them the opportunity to accept those blessings in the next life if they choose.
